EDWARD, Evans, or PHlLADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

Letters Patent No. 1 06,0d0, dated August 2, 1870.-

PORTABLE COOKING-STOVE.

.l'heSeliedule referred to in these Letters Patent andmaking part Of the I, EnwARD EvAns,of-1 ?hiladelphia, county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improved Portable Gook-Stove, of which the following is a specification.

Natarc and Object of the Invention.

My invention consists of a light portable cook-stove, intended principally for travelers, and for usc in sums mer weather, and consisting of a tin or sheet-iron oven,

and of an end piece or extension secured to the oven,

The said extension or end piece, as well as the feet of the stove, are madcdetachable, and can be packed within the oven, so that the stove, when not required for use, will occupy but littleroom, and can be readilycarriedfrom-place to place.

Description of the Acccnwany'ing Drawing. Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my improvedportable cook-stove; t

Figure 2, asectional plan view of the same, on the i a line. 12, fig. 1;

Figure 3, a sectional view of the stove as it appears when the severalaparts are detached from each other,

i "and packed within the oven; and

Figure 4 is a-perspec'tive view of fig. 3.

General Description.

. i The store, which I preferto make of tin or sheet "iron, or both, consists plincipally of an oven, A, and

of an extension or endpiece, B, secured to the oven, 1

and containing the fire-place c.

The oven and extension are connected by means of flanges, d d, which insure a tight joint, and aflorda. convenient hold for bolts, clamps, or other fastenings,

which can be readilyreinovedwhen the two parts are to be disconnected from each other.

' The stove, is supported upon suitable feet or legs, f, which are fitted to sockets, h, of the oven and its extension, in such a manner that they can be readily detached' therefrom. g At the outer end of the oven there is a door, j,

hinged atthe bottom at the point k, and provided at the top with a latch, l, adaptedto a projection, Z ','of

.cupicd by the taining a gate, m. s

Thefire-place has also at the top a detachable cap, 11, of enlarged diameter, in which is formed a row of holes, q, to prevent the checking of the draught when the top of the said cap is closed by placing a kettle 'or other cooking-utensil upon the same.

The above stove, being both light and portable, is especially adapted for the use of travelers, and can be employed for cooking purposes generally in summer weather, when but a temporaryvfire isnecded.

Charcoal, wood, coal,-or other fuel, may be used, and the oven can'he quickly heated, as the cylindrical fire-place passes through and is entirely contained within the extension B, which, in reality, forms part of the oven. I When the stove is no longer required for use, the. several parts of the same can he detatihed from each other, and the whole packed within the oven, inthe manner shown in fig. 3, the extension B being merely rcversed, so that it may close one end of the oven, while the, remainder of the interior of the latter is ocfeet' or legs f and the cap 11 of the fireplace.

The oven, which, taken separately, is nothing more than a square sheet-metal boir, is provided with handles, s s, fig. 4, which enable it to be easily lifted and carried. from place to place when the other port-ions of the. stove are thus packed within it.

Claims.

, 1. The within-described stove, consisting principally I of an oven, A, and of an extension orend piece, B, containing a fire-place, and connected to the said oven by a flanged or other joint,'d, in such a manner that it can be readily detached therefrom.

, 2. The oven A, adapted for the reception of the extension or end piece B, and other detachable portions of the stove, as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
